How to disable S0ix and enable S3 Sleep on Ubuntu 22.04 on Dell Latitude 3410

Linux@lemmy.ml – 35 points – 9 months ago

Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can't find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop.

I seen that it use S0ix, the new standard that many manufacturer use but when sleep it drains a lot battery, in just 6 hours the battery gone 0.

Any help is appreciated. This is company laptop and it requires me use ubuntu (I don't like it but I don't have options to changes OS/distro).

Thanks

After you spend hours compiling it lol. Also, let's not forget that macOS is generally unfriendly to workflows that require more than one window active. Either you waste tons of space on the dock, menu bar, and title bar, or you maximize it and in the case of browsers, can't change tabs.

@yum13241 I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve used many open source programs on macOS, already compiled and already packaged to work on Mac’s. What version of macOS are you referring to, 7?

I mean cross compiling the Intel version over to the M1 architecture.

@yum13241 but you don’t actually have to do that as x86 versions will run on a Mac.

Not for long.

@yum13241 you have to recompile for Linux arm too, right? It seems you just want excuses to hate macOS.

At least Linux ARM doesn't change every year, and is a reliable STANDARD.

@yum13241 again, just looking for excuses to hate.

I'm not looking for a stupid reason to hate. I can't port my software to macOS even if I wanted to, because cross-compiling isn't an option for nonstandard architectures.
